Wash in winter, too
If you rarely wash your car during messy winter weather, you are not
alone.The cars you see on the road make it obvious that lots of folks
figure,”Why bother? The car is going to look awful the next time I drive
it.” The problem with this thinking is that washing is more important
in the winter than other times of the year. All that sand, slush, and
ice mixed with road salt is exactly what makes your car rust.The fastest
corrosion occurs when the temperature repeatedly rises above and then
falls below freezing. Especially during the messy months, be sure to
rinse the undercarriage and hard-to-reach areas that are susceptible to
rust, such as the bumpers and inside the wheel wells. If the temperature
outside is going to stay above freezing long enough for your car and
driveway to dry, fill a bucket with warm water and tackle the job at
home. If not, pay a visit to your local car wash and be sure they dry
the car thoroughly.
